In the past I used Purina and my cattle inhaled the stuff, fast forward 10 years and they barely touch the stuff. I put our selenium blocks (includes salt) and they lick that thing every day. I bought some concept aid and will dump the Purina into my spreader and see if they take to the Vita-Ferm.

Ron, I come from a dairy background, there is a reason the foot trimmer comes out every month to the diary, it’s the high protein diet. A commercial beef ranch near me runs their cattle very much like a dairy, because they actually have a dairy as well. Their Angus have foot problems...

That might be the dumbest and most arrogant comment I’ve seen of CT to this point. I always wonder James what it is that you’re trying to accomplish as a breeder. It sounds like your Dad has left you quite a legacy, some really nice cows. But where are you going from here, other than shoving...

2000lb cows isn’t a rarity in the Angus breed (Hoff). But as seed stock folks we have to have foresight as to how the size of our cattle will work for customers. I want my cattle to run at 1600 lbs, 6 to 7 frame, bcs 6 year round, because the folks I sell bulls to run smaller cattle 1200 lbs...

I got some concept-aid from a farmer in Canby in April, in June I’m heading to Tenn and I plan on dragging some back with me.

In June I’m heading out to Tennessee to see family and going with several bags of Concept-Aid.

That is a phenomenal question and something I needed to think about. Here in the far west Vita-ferm isn't readily available. I travel 200 miles round trip to get mine from a farm. Most of the year I use Purina loose mineral and blocks, this time of year I switch to Concept-Aid. I was...

That was a low blow and uncalled for, raise your own cattle as you see fit. Not cool.

With that much ear you sure that ain’t a Brangus. Branded I like to give you grief, but I’m sorry you lost that cow, she looks like a nice one. I could tell from the picture she struggled, her demise is one of the reasons I yell at my daughter when we work cows, work fast, be diligent and...

I feed late afternoon, normal feedings are local grass hay 3x3x4 squares that get rationed, never feed a full bale at a time. When a cold front is coming in, then I dump a round bale (local, 1000lbs) that takes care of them for five days and supplement with some alfalfa. In our part of the...

I don’t use diesel, just livestock spray, does pretty darn good job.

I fill a garden sprayer with livestock fly spray and when I grain the cows, give them a nice misting every few weeks.
